Why do people even want these? For what purpose could you ever use it for that another rifle wouldn't be better at already?
The only reason I can see to get one is that some of them look cool. Any other reason, and you've already been meme'd by Jeff Cooper.
It's the perfect "I want to be tacticool but i can't afford an actual combat gun" gun for a lot of people.

This rustles my jimmies. Actual scout rifles are supposed to have forward-mounted scopes with long eye relief for quick target acquisition.

Wanna pay $2k for it? Overrated trash
Is it odd that I want to put irons and a longer magazine on a cheap Savage I picked up recently?

How do you guys get memed so hard
Long eye relief scopes aren't faster, and there are shitloads of 6-7lb hunting rifles that will shoot 1MOA out there. The difference is literally marketing
Glorified deer rifle people delude themselves into thinking is actually good for anything other than shooting bambi
